Unicode Version 17.0
𘑈
U+18448 "𘑈" Tangut Ideograph-# is a single character from the Tangut script, an ancient writing system used for the extinct Tangut language spoken by the Tangut people in the Western Xia dynasty (11th–13th centuries). This ideograph belongs to a large set of logographic characters that were deciphered primarily through the study of the Tangut–Chinese bilingual dictionary known as the Pearl in the Palm. Its specific meaning and usage are typically cataloged in the foundational dictionary of Tangut characters, the "Homophones" (同音, Tongyin), though the exact translation of U+18448 in modern scholarship depends on its identification within the standard Tangut character index.
